The o-rings on the bayonet end of the adjustable lance and detergent
bottle should be cleaned regularly and lubricated with non-water soluble
grease.
The screen inside the clear adapter should be cleaned periodically.

Keep the nozzle cleaning wire that is taped to this manual, to unclog the

Relieve any pressure trapped in the high pressure hose by squeezing

Using the nozzle tip cleaner provided (or an unfolded paper clip), insert
the wire into the nozzle hole and move back and forth until debris is

How to Avoid Damaging Surfaces
Damage to surfaces being cleaned occurs because the impact force of
the water pressure exceeds the durability of the surface. Bare wood
can be penetrated; paint can be peeled off, etc. You can vary the force
of your power washer by controlling:
o the fan pattern of the nozzle (when using the adjustable nozzle)
o the angle of the water spray to the surface being cleaned
o the distance of the nozzle from the surface being cleaned
Never use a narrow high pressure stream of water from the lance on
soft surfaces susceptible to damage.
Use the adjustable spray lance when cleaning windows. Be sure to
adjust the nozzle to a wide fan spray pattern and place the nozzle
